Hi everyone!

I'm back from the break! As usual, now I have about 1090912380912831 emails and requests to go through, so don't be surprised that I'm not that around in the next few days.

Just before I got back from the break I saw Google announced the beta for the Google Home APIs so I quickly wipped up a very crude and basic Tasker plugin yesterday that allows you to toggle any toggleable device that's connected to your Google Home (at least in theory).

Demo here:

Download it here!

Very Important: this is using a BETA of the Google Home APIs which may not even work at all. For example, for me, this worked to toggle most devices, but only 1 of my devices reported its state correctly, which means that the app doesn't know if the device is on or off, and toggling always results in turning on the device (since the plugin always thinks it's off). Don't get your hopes up: this may not work at all for you!

Once Google releases a final version of their APIs I can probably make this a fully fledged plugin. I don't think I'll add this to Tasker itself since the APIs are huge and would probably double Tasker's APK size :)

If you want to try out the plugin, send me a PM with your email address so I can add you to the tester list. Since the APIs are in beta, there's no other way to test the app at the moment other than to be invited to test it by me.

Enjoy! 😎 Now back to work for me...
